Description: We take Pride in our Safe and Strong Packaging UKRAINIAN MASTER WRITER WHO INFLUENCED OTHER MASTER WRITERS NIKOLAI GOGOL (1809-1852) WAS A UKRAINIAN-BORN short story writer and novelist whose work has had a major influence not only on contemporary Russian writers but also on later writers in other cultures like Franz Kafka and Flannery O'Connor. Like some of his fellow writers, Gogol satirized political corruption - hazardous at the time but his work was liked by the Tsar.This anthology brings together 13 of Gogol's best tales, seven of them Ukrainian tales and the remaining six his Peterburg tales. They take the reader into worlds that may not be familiar - the wide-eyed peasant, the sophisticated 19th Century city-dweller, unforgettable characters that came from his imagination. THIS HANDSOME EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY EDITION is in pristine condition and looks as though it awaits its first reader. It was translated from the Russian by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, who are acclaimed for their work in translating Russian classics like War and Pace and Crime and Punishment.
